but I got a call today from "mega millions" saying I won 2.5 million....woo hoo....
I knew a woman who did that; she was a retired nurse who was starting to slip. She was convinced she had won a wad of money and a car, playing online poker. We had dinner at her house, and she had spoken to the contest “representative” on the phone, several times, and the car was to be delivered the very next day. The next time I saw her was a few years later; she had lost her home and money, and was living in a senior housing complex. She didn’t remember me, as her dementia had advanced; of course, I didn’t mention her loss.
